梅子

梅子 is plum. There are many plum products but I normally associcate it with the japanese alcohol 梅酒 (plum wine). I even had a bottle of it fermenting away in my fridge.

Since the arrival of my PM, the team have taken up a side project- to make plum juice. The whole thing started when our PM saw some plums selling in the market and bought some back and make some sweet plum juice. One colleague happen to taste it and the rest they said was history.

1kg worth of plums

I had a taste myself and I fancy trying my hand at it. So one fine day we went to the market and bought some plums. That is the easy part. After that we are suppose to clean it and perap it with some salt and leave it to wrinkle for 2 days.

After 2 days

Since Kimchi land is having a wet spell, I left my fan on to aid the drying of the plums but every time I come back, my cleaner had turned it off. I don't know how she can not see I purposely left the fan on for my plums when I had it facing my plums at close distance. Must be trying to sabo my plums this time.

Sweet plum juice

After 2 days I can put all of them into a jar, pour some honey, some tea leaves and I shall have plum juice (hopefully) after a week.

The plums looks ugly

There are actually many kinds of juice that you can make. We all tried different types of juice. Some make wine, some make sweet juice and some make sour ones.

Looking forward to tasting all of them in time to come.
